At the Metalist Stadium
January signing Massadio Haïdara will make his Newcastle United debut away at Metalist Kharkiv in the second leg of their Europa League Round of 32 tie on Thursday night (6pm kick-off GMT).
The defender, who arrived from Nancy last month, has played two second-string games for the Magpies, and will make his first team bow at left-back at the Metalist Stadium.
Haïdara, who is squad number 19 for United in domestic action, will wear the number 35 shirt in the Europa League due to a UEFA ruling.
He is one of five changes to the starting line-up from the goalless first leg seven days ago, as Newcastle look to progress to the next stage of the competition.
There is a place on the substitutes' bench for midfielder Dan Gosling, who has been sidelined since October with an ankle injury, but Cheick Tiote, who travelled to Ukraine, misses out completely through illness.
